The Moment Jada Pinkett Smith And Will Smith’s Comeback Became A Disaster 16.10.2023

Just when we thought Jada Pinkett Smith couldn’t reveal any more bizarre stories about her life… she went rogue. Last week we found out she & Will Smith have been separated since 2016, and as promo continues for her upcoming memoir, Jada has dished out more stories about their lives.

The Best TV Shows Have Just Been Officially Named And We Disagree 13.10.2023

The Hollywood Reporter has published what they're claiming is a list of the best shows of the 21st century and well, we have questions.

Jada Pinkett Smith's Story About Chris Rock & Will Smith Changes Everything 12.10.2023

We love a celebrity memoir and Jada Pinkett Smith’s might be the most anticipated of the year. Especially after comments she’s made in recent interviews.

Plus the actor & singer finally sheds some light on what happened during THAT Oscar’s ni...

There is a long list of them...

Why Olivia Wilde Had To Be The Butt Of The Taylor Swift Joke 09.10.2023

Olivia Wilde is getting slammed online over a tweet she shared about Taylor Swift. On the surface it seemed like a fairly innocent thing to share, but the Swifties are digging deeper and think they've found something more sinister at play. But the question is did Olivia actually intend to stir up bad blood? Or are people just primed to see her as a vilian? PLUS its official Big Brother is coming b...

Is This The Kardashian's Worst Moment? 04.10.2023

The Worst Thing Katy Perry Ever Did 29.09.2023

On the show today… Katy Perry is making headlines for suing a dying war veteran over a million-dollar property, but unfortunately for her this is not the only time she’s seemingly got into a very public legal battle with someone less powerful than her.

A Year Ago Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Would've Been Crucified 26.09.2023

For the last two days our news feeds have been filled with nothing but pictures and videos of Taylor Swift and her 'new beau' Travis Kelce.  Rumours about their alleged romance have been bubbling away for a few weeks now, but they reached boiling point with her attending his football match on Sunday.  It's the latest in a string of moves from Taylor Swift that feels awfully familiar. Things she wa...

The Hidden Details In Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas’ Divorce Documents 25.09.2023

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ divorce just keeps getting messier, with the details of Sophie’s lawsuit against Jo emerging over the last fews days.

An Unpopular Opinion About Those Taylor Swift And Sophie Turner Photos 21.09.2023

Yesterday Sophie Turner just about broke the internet when she was photographed in New York, arm-in-arm Taylor Swift (AKA her ex-husbands ex-girlfriend).  People are calling it ‘ the greatest PR move of all time ’, but our host Laura doesn't necessarily agree.

Will This Footage Destroy The Kardashians? 20.09.2023

The Kardashian's have built themselves a mighty media empire, but according to an upcoming documentary it could all be about to crumble with the show claiming to have 'never-before-seen footage that the famous family don't want people to see'.  Now I know what you're thinking: 'We've literally seen one of these gals pull a child out of herself in a birthing suite, surely we've seen everything ther...

We've been covering the Hollywood writers strike for a while now, from show cancellations to what's happening at the picketing lines.

The Most Important Part Of The VMAs No One Saw 14.09.2023

As you’re probably aware (thanks to your TikTok and Instagram feeds), the MTV VMAs went down yesterday with pretty much everyone who’s anyone in the music biz in attendance.
